Our Technology

For more than a decade, Tidal Basin technology has pushed the limits of indoor shrimp production, in terms of both yield efficiency and environmental impact. Our multi-patented technology allows our brands to bypass many of the challenges faced by similar ventures (low supply, unsustainable production, etc.) to deliver a superior product with zero compromise.

Initial Concept

circa 2011

Pilot Facility

circa 2019

Even the world's most productive outdoor farms can't come close to matching the incredible yields made possible by Tidal Basin's ultra-intensive raceway design. 

ULTRA-EFFICIENT OUTPUT

Tidal Basin Tech

Our Tidal Basin® collective technologies allow us to produce high-quality shrimp at unprecedented rates. By revolutionizing the design of a traditional indoor shrimp raceway, we can create the optimal growing conditions for shrimp that are free from disease, toxins and antibiotics.

Recognized sustainability

Tidal Basin technology was selected as one of the Solar Impulse Foundation's 1000 Solutions to Change the World, a coveted award recognizing uniquely profitable solutions that are environmentally responsible. 

While traditional shrimp production often comes at the expense of surrounding wetlands, Tidal Basins are engineered to minimize waste and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. That's why our innovative process carries the highest sustainability score of any shrimp farm on the planet.

SUSTAINABLE WATER MANAGEMENT

Our innovative process for using (and reusing) water for our habitats allows us to create our high-yield raceways while still maintaining our commitment to sustainability.
